I love both my 2011 6.1 95 BLX and my 2012 6.1 95 BLX Amplifeel, I have 3-4 of each and never a problem. I string with natural gut mainly and hit about 12 hours/week, flat and hard (for the club level).

Cheers!

Head Innegra (IF Speed MP 310) would be my second choice, although it's lighter...Forget Dunlop Aerogel and the likes. Just, mho.

My wife took a picture of my Beagle and me just like this. I had just learned to express her anal glands and I gently blow on her little Beagle head while in the act to keep her calm. I won't post the pic as I am not certain how the Beag would feel about this, but if you are interested in handling your Pug...

Prestige strung at 40 has potential, but I have been fighting off some kind of sickness so I have been kind of out of it all week. Once I kill off this disease attacking me with alcohol poisoning and rest, I will step up my game with the 40lb prestige.

I'm GOATing on the LIRR Ronkonkama now. Thinking about Jolly and Pickle and how they have blossomed into such a lovely pair of practice partners. I get giddy when I see Jolly physically working with Pickle and helping him with his toss and shot awareness techniques.

Day 3: My stalwart companion (the shovel which I have named "Mr. Bentley Harrington III") and I set out once more in search of adventure. A peaceful,soothing, light rain has begun to fall and I have enlisted my weather-proof British style driving hat to aid in the cause. The rain is a sign that the benevolent spirits of nature continue to watch over me, preventing my mortal coil from over-heating in its toil.

The spirits of nature also look after Mr. Bentley Harrington III, as their gentle rain combined with the tires of massive plow trucks (driven by my fellow men who partake in the cathartic satisfaction of physical labor, and a day's work well done) have packed the heavenly gift of snow into a thick slushy ice which overmatches Ben's (the shovel insists that I refer to him as "Ben" in casual settings, proper protocol be damned) capabilities thereby ensuring him periods of rest at times when I am forced to employ his half-brother, the spade-shovel Worthington.

I tip my hat in gratitude to the nature spirits for their assistance in conditioning my physical being, as well as my agile mind, and indomitable will.
